    Careful with the lighter, if they’re lit for too long they can explode.

      It may happen that your thermostat does not send the heater to the element BCz it's have to strike the element to warms up the water

    If your meter doesent give a noice what will it say on the meter if its working and what if its not working?

      working = low ohms = 0Ohm, not working = open circuit MegaOhm

    If the thermostat is in the geyser... Do I carry on with the same method

      yes

      @@ecologicaltime you would have to switch off power to the geyser first before doing the continuity check. If it does not get continuity, it could be the element or the thermostat, so you'd have to remove the thermostat to confirm which one.

    Please advise what could be wrong if geyser is draining too much electricity .

    • @ecologicaltime
      @ecologicaltime  4 роки тому +1

      check that it goes off at times, if not check your overflow water to see if geyser is over heating
